An Incovenient Truth

Sunday, November 11, 2007
This 2006 American Academy Award Winning Documentary film is indeed so alarming. I've recently watched this movie, and not once have I got bored although it mostly showed Al Gore's giving presentation about global warming to an audience somewhere... :P
However, this movie later on have become such a controversy where some inaccuracies were found (eg. see them here). Whether he's right or wrong on some details presented.., I guess it would be better if we focused on the solutions... Isn't prevention much better than the cure...?



Following are ten things to do as excerpted from the DVD's back cover:
  1. Replacing six regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs.
  2. Drive less, walk, bike, carpool or take public transport more often.
  3. Recycle more.
  4. Keeping our tyres inflated properly could improve our car's fuel efficiency.
  5. Use less hot water.
  6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging.
  7. Move our thermostat down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer.
  8. Plant a tree and more.
  9. Turn off electronic devices when we're not using them.
  10. Be a part of the solution.
Actually, there are many other things that we can do..
Whatever it is, just do our best to save our planet :)

3R

Thursday, November 1, 2007

It's not a photo's print size..
It's not my own acronym...
It's actually something that can save our planet..
If Peter Petrelli wanted to save the world by saving the cheerleader..,
we could be heroes by doing this 3R.. Seriously..
Coz 3R could assist to overcome one of the world's biggest problems...
I'm talking here about climate changes, global warming, pollutions and any other environmental issues...
We might find difficulties to force the government and authorized parties and/or related institutions to do something about them..
But it doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing we can do...
Quoting AA Gym...
If we want to make differences.., to act...,
We should:
Start from ourself
Start from little thing
Start right now
Then..., 3R could be one of our chances to change the world to be a better place..
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
3R might seems so simple...
But they're so powerful...
Reduce our waste.., save energies, stop using non-ozone friendly chemical products such as as Chloro Fluoro Carbon (CFC) and freon...
Could bring our own bags to the supermarket to reduce the use of plastic bags..,
could print on the both sides of paper...,
could turnoff unused electric devices...,
could giveaway unused clothes to the needy...,
etc...
Reuse our stuff..., use our item more than once...
Could reuse the plastic bottle..,
could reuse the package by using refill products..
could reuse plastic carrier bags as bin liners,
etc...
Recycle waste...
Could separate recycled waste....,
could recycle out-of-dated clothings into something new...
etc...
Imagine all people in the world doing these...
Less waste.., less pollution...

Happy blog action day...
(It's still 15 October there in US right.. :P)
